That reminds me that I need a backup 2DS LL. I will probably get the Dragon Quest Metal slime one even though I have the game already.

@Zuljaras They've been quite expensive since console production ended & the pandemic. Expect prices for used to be the same as new retail price or higher. That's the market, unfortunately.
I think my brother paid $350+(USD) for a New 2DS XL circa december 2021. (regular retail price was $150(USD)). And that was the common black&blue variant.
I noticed this trend in recent years where video games soft and hardware is becoming increasingly expensive because of collecting, scarcity and value speculation and investment. I get the appeal of making money and I've hit myself on the head over stuff I got rid of on the past, but I dunno, seems to be getting a bit out of hand. Makes stuff out of reach for people who just want to experience the games.
It's like with housing (and many other things, consumer capitalism has a general tendency to this). Houses should be for living. I get it, a house can be an investment, but if that makes housing unaffordable for many, we have a real problem on our hands. Video games lend itself particularly well to this scarcity/ exclusivity model, bcause of limited runs and the techy nature of it, with incompatibility, hardware becoming obsolete and so forth. Nice to see a retro console market in recent years to at least give people options.
I got I think a pretty good deal on a new3DS (100€ second hand) and am now looking for a new 3DS XL. I think the 'new' line is really worth it for the eye tracking 3DS. Like Wii motion plus, it should've been a feature from the get go, cause it's of crucial importance imo to do glasses free 3D right. I think if you find a good deal (on video game related items in general) and it's something you would really like to acquire, you shouldn't hesitate for too long and jump on the opportunity.
